Teachers of schools in this county, with one exception, were wise in their man agement of their pupils and themseclves Nearly all remained all night in their school houses and avoided any suffering. In a few mstances the fuel was out and the furniture ‘was burned. In one instance a patren who lived near the school went und assisted the teacher in getting the pupils to his house.

Some were fortunate cnongh to get sufely to a house near, but others would not have reached home had it not been for the brav of a boy about twelve years old. He safely guided the others home going nearly two miles. All were saved but the boy was frozen about the knees and is hardly able to walk. His name is Charles Gurnsey, of Kent, Neb. J. A.

NEBRASKA'S THREE HEROINES The “Bee’"’ Fund Rapidly Reaching the Thousands. THOSE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED. An Interview With Miss Freeman— Miks Shattuck's Suffering - Some ciative Sug- gestions- Notes, Miss Shattuck's Suffering. The very e account of the suffer- ings of Mi ttuck as published in last night's Bee will certainly touch the heart of every reader. Miss Shattuck was teaching in a district school six miles from O'Neil, Neb, and oni the day of the storm carefully provided for the safety of her pupils, and sent them safely to their re spective homes, In the endeavor to reach shelter herself she became lost in the blasts, by 'rl‘uson of the delay in caring for her Pupils. Wandering aimlessly about, the poor girl sought refuge in a haystack, where she was attacked by u host of mice who preyed upon her in her helpless condition. Miss Shattuck remained in the haystack for a period of seventy-cight hours when she was rescued by a farmer. Her sufferings were great, and on ‘Thursday both of her limbs wero amputated just below the knee. She is d ing and iu need, and should be promptly provided for., Fremont's L The citize berality. of Fremont started a_fund for Miss Etta Shuttuck yesterduy and_in a very short time &40 was rased, ‘The umount will be largely increased, us the liberality of the people of Fremont can be relied upon. A Good Suggestion. The following was reccived from Mr. John A. Wakefield the well known lumber mer- chant of this city: ‘To the Editor of the Bee: Enclosed my check for 817.00 which please make disposi- tion of as follows: #10.00 to testimoniul fund for Miss Shat- 0 to testimoninl fund for Miss Roy 00 to testimonial fund for Mi Free- man.

[ will donaton fine well-broken pony to be dis- posed of in ou may designate for the swelling of the fund you have so kindly inter- ested yourself in. This is a handsomc pony, kind and gentle and is at your disposal. Hexny L. Owes. The offer of Mr. Owens is u_generous one. The Bee suggests that Mr Owens name an early date upon which his poney shall be sold t0 the highest bidder for the benefit of Miss Etta Shattuck. Should it happen that the purchaser is a very liberal person it may be that he or she will donute the unimal for the benefit of the fund.. In this way a hand- some amount could be rais If Mr. Owen will set the day the Bex will publish free of charge the advertisement of the sale. An early day should be fixed and the bidders should and probably will be many. Mr. Heyn's Plan.

The following letter was received yester- day: Wrymoke, Neb., Jan. —To_the Editor of the Bee: I believe Miss Royce and Miss Freeman should be hundsowel, warded. 1 enclose postal note for $4, divided cqually between them. [also think that steps should be taken at once to erect u suitable monument to the memory of the two Westphalen children. Such self-sacrificing love and devotion as shown in this case is rarely displayed. A penny collection from the school children of the state, I think, the proper way to raise this fund. T. D. Covuer. All For Miss Shattuck. Colonel Toner, the South Tenth street jew- cler and auctioneer, has four historical pic- tures iu his place, and lectures by him to his customers and auditors as to the relative re- lations of the characters presented thereon at ten cents a head have been imaugurated, the receipts from which are to be devoted to Miss Shattuck, Already good sum has been raised, and by Saturday next the colon says he will turn into the BEE quite a ni sum for the unfortunate young lady. An Interview With Miss Freeman. Mr. John F. Kates, ex-county supcrinten- dent of public instruction in Valley county has interviewed Miss Minnio Freeman and the pupils rescued by her from which he has written a complete account of the young teacher's heroism. The article appeared in the Farmer's Advocate of North Loup and is —Editor Advocate: As in Mira Valley, dnd have learned from the school the facts connected with their adven- ture in the late blizzard. While I find that the reports as given in pa distort the the facts in regard to particulars, 1 have learncd nothing that detracts in the least from the credit that is due her. The storm in its violence at the very first burst the latch and one hinge off the door. The door was closed as quickly as possible, and fast- by means of u button improvised of o e of wood and a nail. Through the crevices m the roof and openings around the windows the snow sifted in to such un extent that it was necessary for the teacher and children to cover their heads. apd even made it impossible to keep the stove dry. It can be easily understood that under ihese con- ditions to keep warm was an impossibility. "o assist in keeping warm Miss Freeman put the children to marching—singing as they marched. Snow had already accumulated o the floor beneath the windows to a_depth of ecight inches. In a violent gust @ por- tion of the sod roof, at the comb, was removed, and between the loose boards the snow drifted in torrents. Any one who has taught school knows that that school was then in a panic. There was no telling at what moment the entire roof might go. remain there would be at great risk, and with reasonable assurance of further severity of cold and storm with nightfall. Miss Free- man decided quickly to attempt to take her charge of sixteen, (not thirteen) precious ildren, the joy of almost as many homes to her boarding place just one-half mile distant, almost directly in the storm. Before leaving the house she took the precaution to sceurely nail the door thag it might not be blown open and the roof lifted entively off, or fire scat tered from the stove and the house burned. Carefully wrapping the chil- dren and assuring them that they would get safely through she led them from the room through a south window. With clasped hands they started on their way to shelter, the teacher leadng the way. Miss Freeman was soon obliged to trust the lead 1o her oldest pupils and give her attention to the smaller ones, who in the blinding storm and drifts were continually falling, and must have her closest altention lest some one Llunder a step or two to one side and be lost All agreed that they could see but three or four steps at any time in front of them, Who can tell the anguish suffered by that teacher as she thought of the responsibility resting upon her a8 she journeyed that half mile Prayerfully, hopefully, resolutely, she totied. sud struggled’ on, lifting and atiugene linis Tlowhers and encourag- inganother there, until the haven was reached | cast —~safely reachod by all.

In respdnse to my inquiry ‘Were you exhausted ;" Miss Freeman said, “To tell ‘you the truth, 1 dould not have gone much fur- ther.! She deplores the fact that the inci dent has beam, given such extended publicity with unwarranted sensational coloring. Let- ters of appreciation reach her by every mail as do ko letters soliviting her biog- raphy. These she courteously acknowledges but modestly withholds all information that would likely be used for sensational pur- poscs, LSRN During the evening, one parent only, ven- tured to look after the welfare of his chil- dren. He, accompanied by two other men who were stopping with him at the time, at- tempting to make his way to the ohildren,be- me bewildered, and was only successful with the tance of a compass. Aunother started out several times but gave up the attempt. Yesterday's Contributions. “A Friend"” at Blair sends #10 to be equaliy divided between Misses Royce and Freeman. M. A.
